Her vitals are stable, but she's got fluid in her lungs.
She's requesting admission to the cancer ward for end-of-life care.
Right.

She's gonna need some pain management.
Yeah, we've got her chart here, Nancy.

We just need to get her a bed.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
You take care, now.
You, too.
Seems like a cool lady.
Yeah, very.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
By the look of that smile, Casey's doing just fine.
Yup.
Casey took a bullet in battle Ooh.
which was enough to get him an honorable discharge and a medal.
A medal! Mmm-hmm.
Which means that I now have myself a new roommate.
No way.
Way.
What, the guy that you called the MPs on and had sent to the brig? Not the brig, Afghanistan.
What's the difference? And this guy has come back for more.
Yeah.
Wow.
You are a cat in the sack, aren't you? That is sexual harassment.
Yes, you are.
This is Rabbit.
Leave a message.
Ready? Yeah.
You ever been to Cambodia? What? Cambodia.
Have you ever been? Are you actually asking a question about me? Look, I know you've done a lot of traveling.
I'm just wondering.
Three or four years ago, I spent the summer backpacking through Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia.
Wow.
That's cool.
You're making fun of me, aren't you? No, I'm interested.
I want to know.
I was a history major before I went pre-med.
Really? Listen, I know it's none of my business, but lately, you've I don't know, you seem to just not Not be yourself.
Rabbit asked me to move in with him.
For the past 15 years, I think I have done nothing but look after other people.
You know? Like my brothers, my dad, Rabbit, you.
You know, maybe it is time that I took care of myself.
Man, I don't get it.
I mean, look around.
You see an earthquake? You see a hurricane? Wait, what are you talking about? When New Orleans got slammed, they had an actual reason.
Dispatch got flooded.
All the operators left.
All the calls got routed to Baton Rouge, but Baton Rouge couldn't handle that load.
So any calls that we actually did go on, we were either too late or we just didn't get there at all.
You just eat yourself alive wondering if you could have actually helped somebody if you got there earlier.
these people safe, man.
It makes them feel like they're connected to help.
So, yeah, if it's gonna go down, yeah, I want a reason, a good reason.
It's a system.
Systems rely on people.
People screw up.
My waiter screws up, my soup is cruddy.
You know? My cable guy screws up, I don't get the hockey game.
people die.
And on my birthday.
Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.
Hi, uh Oh! I'll call you back.
Hey! The war hero.
More like the numb-nuts who gets shot.
Come on, show me the scar.
Damn.
That's through and through.
Yup.
Dude, did they take your kidney, or what? It was a fair trade.
Spleen for walking papers.
I think they were just sick of me, though.
Go figure, huh? Yeah.
Is she around? There she is.
Shall we? Go have fun.
See you later.
We will.
Bye, Dad.
Don't stay up too late.
Tap that.
Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.
Hello.
Hey, Nancy.
Yeah, I'm trying to call you back again, but I can't get you 'cause you're not answering your phone again.
Bye.
I thought we were going to lunch.
We are, but this is the second best way I know to work up an appetite.
Wow.
Rat-infested dump.
You really know how to impress a girl.
Just this girl.
Size queen.
You ready? I am starving.
That's because you were shooting.
Adrenaline lets you go without food or sleep.
Once it wears off, you get hungry.
I remember that.
Not as well as I did.
You know, they took me off of helo.
They did? Yeah.
They put me on the.
50 caliber on APC.
They put you on an M2? That is so gnarly.
Yeah, it is.
It's different on the ground.
Yeah? Up in the air, they're It's like spots, you know? It's more like a video game.
You just take them, lead them, and that's it.
Yeah, but on the ground, it's, uh You can see them.
You can see their eyes and see the looks on their faces.
You just see it all go away.
This is Rabbit.
Leave a message.
Oh, you are kidding me.
Everything okay? Huh? Did you miss a date? Uh, kind of.
I've been trying to speak to someone all day and I keep missing them.
We just have had trouble connecting, that's all.
Your husband? Not even close.
Boyfriend? Yes, boyfriend.
So, uh, what'd you want to talk to your boyfriend about? No, just consider me a sounding board, an impartial observer.
Okay.
Um Have you ever had one of those moments where you ask yourself, "Is this it?" About every 30 seconds.
And what do you come up with? Are you happy with your life? Huh.
Wow.
I thought this was gonna be a picking-out-the-tile in-the-bathroom kind of thing.
Uh, yeah.
I'm happy.
Do you live alone? Yeah.
How come? I don't know.
Um, I lived with someone for a few years.
It was nice.
But, uh, you know, I guess it really wasn't it, you know? And I am where I am.
And it's all right.
Just all right, or satisfied all right? Little bit of both.
If you don't mind me saying so, it's kind of a dangerous conversation to have with your boyfriend.
It's even more dangerous with a stranger.
True.
Number 77.
Wait.
That's me.
Just in case you want to continue a weird conversation and, uh, you keep missing your boyfriend.
Come on.
Is it beer 30 yet or what? You're not even close, man.
Shoot.
All right.
Now.
You got it.
Man, my birthday sucks! Ha, ha.
It's 'cause you're at work, but it might get better.
Dude, seriously, if you're planning something, don't, okay? I Seriously.
No, King Ego, I'm not.
What do you mean, "King Ego"? No, I've got plans.
Listen, man Ego! Dude, it's not about ego, man.
Look, honestly, it's just I got some plans with a few friends of mine.
And it's not like that.
You're my boy.
It's just, look, what I'm doing, where I'm going, you're not gonna dig it, okay? Not the rainbows, not the glitter, none of it, okay? I'm protecting you.
Well, try me, man.
No, I'm not gonna dig worrying about what you're thinking all night.
Come on.
It's like that? It is not like Dude.
I don't want to hurt your feelings, man, but it's my birthday.
Come on, please.
Of course.

It's probably 'cause we're a lot alike, right? Most likely, yeah.
Then you should know threats don't mean much to me.
I've been right where you are now, and No, Rabbit, you haven't.
See, you think you have.
And you think that gives you the right to talk to me like I'm a kid.
I'm not.
And neither is Marisa.
Casey, trust me, this can get real ugly if you don't deal with it.
So, for all of us, don't let it get that far, okay? See you around, Rabbit.
See you around, Casey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey! Yo.
Oh, man.
Dude, I saw you busting a move out there.

Yeah, the quiet drift-away? Before Rabbit gets here? Yes.
Listen, Nancy, what's going on with you? Talk to me.
You know what? Ten years ago, I walked into medical school and tonight I have blood on my boots and my boyfriend, who was certifiably crazy a year ago, has asked me to move in with him.
I mean, I don't know how I got here.
I don't even know if this is the vicinity that I want to be in.

Yes, you are.
This is Rabbit.
Leave a message.
Ready? Yeah.
You ever been to Cambodia? What? Cambodia.
Have you ever been? Are you actually asking a question about me? Look, I know you've done a lot of traveling.
I'm just wondering.
Three or four years ago, I spent the summer backpacking through Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia.
Wow.
That's cool.
You're making fun of me, aren't you? No, I'm interested.
I want to know.
I was a history major before I went pre-med.
Really? Listen, I know it's none of my business, but lately, you've I don't know, you seem to just not Not be yourself.
Rabbit asked me to move in with him.
For the past 15 years, I think I have done nothing but look after other people.
You know? Like my brothers, my dad, Rabbit, you.
You know, maybe it is time that I took care of myself.
Man, I don't get it.
I mean, look around.
You see an earthquake? You see a hurricane? Wait, what are you talking about? When New Orleans got slammed, they had an actual reason.
Dispatch got flooded.
All the operators left.
All the calls got routed to Baton Rouge, but Baton Rouge couldn't handle that load.
So any calls that we actually did go on, we were either too late or we just didn't get there at all.
You just eat yourself alive wondering if you could have actually helped somebody if you got there earlier.
these people safe, man.
It makes them feel like they're connected to help.
So, yeah, if it's gonna go down, yeah, I want a reason, a good reason.
It's a system.
Systems rely on people.
People screw up.
My waiter screws up, my soup is cruddy.
You know? My cable guy screws up, I don't get the hockey game.
people die.
And on my birthday.
Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.
Hi, uh Oh! I'll call you back.
Hey! The war hero.
More like the numb-nuts who gets shot.
Come on, show me the scar.
Damn.
That's through and through.
Yup.
Dude, did they take your kidney, or what? It was a fair trade.
Spleen for walking papers.
I think they were just sick of me, though.
Go figure, huh? Yeah.
Is she around? There she is.
Shall we? Go have fun.
See you later.
We will.
Bye, Dad.
Don't stay up too late.
Tap that.
Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.
Hello.
Hey, Nancy.
Yeah, I'm trying to call you back again, but I can't get you 'cause you're not answering your phone again.
Bye.

We are, but this is the second best way I know to work up an appetite.
Wow.
Rat-infested dump.
You really know how to impress a girl.
Just this girl.
Size queen.
You ready? I am starving.
That's because you were shooting.
Adrenaline lets you go without food or sleep.
Once it wears off, you get hungry.
I remember that.
Not as well as I did.
You know, they took me off of helo.
They did? Yeah.
They put me on the.
50 caliber on APC.
They put you on an M2? That is so gnarly.
Yeah, it is.
It's different on the ground.
Yeah? Up in the air, they're It's like spots, you know? It's more like a video game.
You just take them, lead them, and that's it.
Yeah, but on the ground, it's, uh You can see them.
You can see their eyes and see the looks on their faces.
You just see it all go away.
This is Rabbit.
Leave a message.
Oh, you are kidding me.
Everything okay? Huh? Did you miss a date? Uh, kind of.
I've been trying to speak to someone all day and I keep missing them.
We just have had trouble connecting, that's all.
Your husband? Not even close.
Boyfriend? Yes, boyfriend.
So, uh, what'd you want to talk to your boyfriend about? No, just consider me a sounding board, an impartial observer.
Okay.
Um Have you ever had one of those moments where you ask yourself, "Is this it?" About every 30 seconds.
And what do you come up with? Are you happy with your life? Huh.
Wow.
I thought this was gonna be a picking-out-the-tile in-the-bathroom kind of thing.
Uh, yeah.
I'm happy.
Do you live alone? Yeah.
How come? I don't know.
Um, I lived with someone for a few years.
It was nice.
But, uh, you know, I guess it really wasn't it, you know? And I am where I am.
And it's all right.
Just all right, or satisfied all right? Little bit of both.
If you don't mind me saying so, it's kind of a dangerous conversation to have with your boyfriend.
It's even more dangerous with a stranger.
True.
Number 77.
Wait.
That's me.
Just in case you want to continue a weird conversation and, uh, you keep missing your boyfriend.
Come on.
Is it beer 30 yet or what? You're not even close, man.
Shoot.
All right.
Now.

Dude, seriously, if you're planning something, don't, okay? I Seriously.
No, King Ego, I'm not.
What do you mean, "King Ego"? No, I've got plans.
Listen, man Ego! Dude, it's not about ego, man.
Look, honestly, it's just I got some plans with a few friends of mine.
And it's not like that.
You're my boy.
It's just, look, what I'm doing, where I'm going, you're not gonna dig it, okay? Not the rainbows, not the glitter, none of it, okay? I'm protecting you.
Well, try me, man.
No, I'm not gonna dig worrying about what you're thinking all night.
Come on.
It's like that? It is not like Dude.
I don't want to hurt your feelings, man, but it's my birthday.
Come on, please.
